EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler
U.S. EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler spoke to Matt about his visit in Portland today. He be visiting a working lobster co-op and boatyard with the Maine Lobstermen’s Association. They will be finalizing amendments to the national marine diesel engine program to address the lack of available certified Tier 4 marine diesel engines for use in certain high-speed commercial vessels.
This final rule provides much needed relief to boat builders and manufacturers of lightweight and high-power marine diesel engines. Specifically, this action will benefit America’s hardworking lobster fishermen and pilot boat captains, who rely on these engines for safety and productive operations in their high-speed commercial vessels.
